* Madeleine Olnek’s “Wild Nights With Emily” which stars Molly Shannon as Emily Dickinson and will explore “her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman.”

The El family becomes rankless when Val-El refuses to conform from "Krypton" (Steffan Hill/Syfy)

*David S. Goyer’s TV show “Krypton” for Syfy has a premise that is pure Bronze Age Superman: “What if Superman had never existed? Seg-El, Superman’s grandfather, is faced with a conflict: Save Krypton? Or let it be destroyed in order to secure the future of his grandson-to-be?”

* Every jazz fan at SXSW will be at Jake Meginsky and Neil Young’s doc “Milford Graves Full Mantis” about the completely incredible percussionist. (Note: this is a different Neil Young than the one above.)

* There is also a special event regarding “This is Us.” I swear, if we have to wait until SXSW to find out how (redacted) died, there is gonna be a riot.
